How would you like to put your manufactured home in the SC State Fair this year?

MHISC partnered with members to do just that last year and the project was a huge success. We opened a lot of eyes to the quality of manufactured homes. Over 11,000 South Carolinians walked through the home last October.

We're doing it again!

MHISC is issuing the attached proposal for a member company to serve as the "Major Partner" in this project. The Major Partner will be able to bring in other member companies to participate and share expenses.

The 2018 SC State Fair is October 10-21.

If you are interested, please contact Shell at ssuber@mhisc.com.

We'll put together a final list of companies who want to participate. The 2018 Major Partner will be chosen by a blind drawing. The second and third companies drawn will have first dibs on serving as the partner for 2019 and 2020.

Back in May, the president signed into law federal legislation amending part of the controversial Dodd-Frank Act.

The new law changed the section of Dodd-Frank that tied the hands of retailers and prevented them from helping customers with the lending process.

Our national affiliate, MHI, has just released a document explaining how the recent changes to the law impacts manufactured housing retailers, sellers, and community owners. MHISC supports MHI financially so the industry will have a voice in Washington

MHISC’s statewide meetings never disappoint, so you’ll want to make sure you are at the upcoming Fall Meeting in Charleston on November 7-8.

MHISC is at a new location this year The Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina!

MHISC packs so much into its day-and-a-half meetings. The November meeting will include informative speakers, committee meetings, reception and dinner, best in the industry awards, golf tournament, news-to-use and much more!

Wednesday afternoon we will kick off the meeting with MHISC’s five key committees meeting to tackle pressing industry issues: The Dealer Roundtable, Modular Steering Committee, Membership Committee, Image and Professionalism Committee and Community Manager’s Committee. If you are interested in serving on a committee contact Mark at awestmoreland@mhisc.com.

MHISC will also offer various seminars that will interest all membership categories.

Wednesday evening enjoy a fun reception and buffet dinner outside in the Charleston breeze. We will also celebrate the Best in the Industry award winners!

Thursday afternoon members will enjoy 18 holes of golf at our MHISC PAC Golf Tournament. MHISC’s tournament will be held at Patriots Point. This golf tournament raises funds for the association’s political action committee. Without the PAC the industry would not have a legislative voice. Non- golfers are invited to join in the fun– driving a beer cart, taking photos, volunteering, or just hanging out.

This was NOT a slam-dunk vote. We needed these six SC congressmen to vote our way.

Thank you to every MHISC member who called or emailed their representative Tuesday and all the earlier Senate and House votes that led to the passage of our bill.

How the Bill Will Help
The bill, S. 2155 removes the goofy Dodd-Frank provision that said an MH seller must be a licensed “loan originator” simply because they help the buyer with the loan process. Removing the rule means loans can now move faster and more smoothly. Plus the retailer can help keep the loan – and the sale – on track.

South Carolina’s manufactured housing industry is lucky to have strong support from our representatives in the United States Senate.

Our state’s senior senator, Lindsey Graham, is also a tireless advocate for keeping manufactured housing accessible and affordable for our working families.

As a boy, Senator Graham’s family lived in a manufactured home in Central, South Carolina.

He fondly recalls the pride they felt when the modest success enjoyed by their family-owned restaurant made it possible for his father to purchase the home.

That experience fuels his passion for our industry.

In March, Senator Graham voted in favor of legislation clarifying a manufactured housing retailer or seller is not considered a mortgage "loan originator" simply because they provide a customer with some assistance in the mortgage loan process.

This provision was included in the "Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act," a package of reforms intended to improve the regulatory framework that governs lending and promotes economic growth.

We salute Senator Graham for his continued support for affordable housing for all Americans.
